What is the game against CSKA for you?

What do you remember about old CSKA-Zalgiris games?

What do you think about journalist?

- I don’t like them. It is often thing when you tell them something and they writes something other.

What are your targets for this season?

- We want to move to TOP-16. Then we will look.

Can you stay in Zalgiris for one more season?

What can you say about CSKA and its players?

- I spend last years in USA in NBA. That’s why I don’t know much about European teams. The titles of the clubs are the same but there are new players in them.

Thanks what can you team defeat CSKA?

- CSKA is a leader of our group. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t defeat them. Last week they won in Tel-Aviv in the game against Maccabi, one of the main favorites of the Euroleague. CSKA could steal win there and we will try to do the same.
